9.3 x 62 mm caliber

[Sully2]

Anyone using one of these so called middle bore guns for anything??

All the people looking and not one direct answer? It must not be as popular in the US and some would lead me to believe

Ask your question over on www.accuratereloading.com Those boys are more atuned to the 9.3mm than those who visit this forum. They're more into classic, wood stocked hunting rifles than they are the modern cartidges and synthetic stocked rifles seen and talked about here. Look/post in the "custom" section or the "gunsmithing" section. The 9.3mm is 'low and slow', but'll get the jiob done provided the target isn't at too great a range.

A friend of mine uses one, he uses Norma ammo, Vulkan afair. Results are pretty much drt when he hits the boiler room. In cases where he missed slightly and hit either the front legs or the intestines, it was possible to find the deer / hog with a dog without too much effort. He hunts hogs, roe deer and fallow deer. His farthest shot was in the 150 yard range.

9,3 x 62 is very popular throughout Europe, South Africa and Namibia. The round is originally thought for larger and large game, delivers very good performance and terminal energy out of standard actions. Recoil is no major issue and general handling is top!
It isn't a problem at all killing a Cape buff with it, but there are some (stupid) restrictions to find in former British colonies, so there you have to use something from .375 and above. 286gr. bullet weight is the most usual for 9,3 x 62, and all ammo producers on the Old Continent and in South Africa are manufacturing many different kind of factory loads and components.
You can't go wrong with a 9,3x62!
